Bucha is not a hoax

Fierce Planet Posted on April 5, 2022 by jnfrApril 5, 2022

Putin is claiming that the bodies we’ve seen in Bucha and elsewhere were planted after the Russian army were driven out of the area. The New York Times used satellite imagery and showed definitively that the murders had to happen during the Russian occupation. That link should get you past the paywall for at least a week or two. Their work is well worth looking at. It’s meticulous. ETA: The Washington Post has a detailed account of the brutality visited on the people of Chernihiv, a city which has been returned to Ukranian control, though there is great concern that … Continue reading →

War crimes

Fierce Planet Posted on April 4, 2022 by jnfrApril 4, 2022

I am not going to post the pictures or video coming out of Bucha now that the Russians have retreated. The barbarism shown, pictures and video showing dead bodies of tortured citizens, can be easily found on Twitter, and you really should look if you can bear to. Though as the tweet below says, Zelenskyy’s face tells the tale. Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Bucha today. His face says it all. pic.twitter.com/IWOmIdnnVT — Kateryna_Kruk (@Kateryna_Kruk) April 4, 2022 Chef Andrés and World Central Kitchen are in Ukraine feeding refugees.

Thank the journalists

…who go into harm’s way so that we can see what is happening in the war zone. Ukrainian forces have regained ground against the Russian military, changing the course of this war. On the outskirts of Kharkiv, @RichardEngel reveals how Russian military equipment has been destroyed and abandoned. pic.twitter.com/R4yeLgmV1U — On Assignment with Richard Engel (@OARichardEngel) March 30, 2022 This 88-year-old woman was sitting by herself, disoriented & frightened. “I’m so afraid, my whole body is shaking,” Praskovya told @RichardEngel. She’s lived through WWII and said she doesn’t have the strength to go through another war. pic.twitter.com/VrFkfnIRHD — On Assignment … Continue reading →

Breadbasket of Europe

Fierce Planet Posted on March 25, 2022 by jnfrMarch 25, 2022

Chris Hayes had a segment on the danger of famine that Europe, Asia, and Africa are likely to face with the loss of Ukraine’s wheat crop. The area under siege is often called the world’s breadbasket, since Ukraine and Russia supply almost a third of the world’s barley and wheat supply. Obviously those crops will be crushed this year, and prices are already spiking.

Kherson

Fierce Planet Posted on March 21, 2022 by jnfrMarch 21, 2022

The city of Kherson, like Mariupol, is near the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. Russia has made a heavy push along the Sea and early on took control of Kherson, at least nominally. As it turns out, and as predicted, overrunning a city militarily is very different from holding it in occupation indefinitely. And the citizens clearly do not want the Russians in their city. In Kherson, local people are shoving out Russian occupiers with bare hands. They are not scared to protest even after many activists were persecuted. “Go home” – they chant. pic.twitter.com/0HRnLIfB0j — Liubov Tsybulska (@TsybulskaLiubov) March … Continue reading →

Killing Mariupol

Mind-blowing and heart-breaking that it has come to this: More than 2,000 dead, and 400,000 trapped without heat, food or clean water. https://t.co/wctRynmDFe pic.twitter.com/N1jRSb9gPB — Matthew Luxmoore (@mjluxmoore) March 14, 2022

Disaster phase

Fierce Planet Posted on March 12, 2022 by jnfrMarch 12, 2022

Mariupol is in a “disaster phase now,” Doctors Without Borders emergency coordinator says An emergency coordinator for Doctors Without Borders told CNN that the humanitarian situation in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol is deteriorating by the day…. “They’re using snow and rain water, they’re breaking into heating systems to access the water in heating systems, but for many, water has already run out and so has the food for many people. The only people left with food are those who have stocks that they’re rationing,” he said from Vinnytsia, Ukraine…. Staff on the ground in Mariupol have told Wade that … Continue reading →

What’s happening in Mariupol…

Fierce Planet Posted on March 11, 2022 by jnfrMarch 11, 2022

is at the very least an attempt at genocide, and may yet become one entirely. 400,000 civilians are surrounded by Russian forces, have little to no food and water left, and are under constant assault by Russian bombs and artillery. The people cannot get supplies and all attempts to open humanitarian corridors out of the city have been crushed by Russian aggression. This article at the Guardian has before/after photo pairs that let you see the destruction around Mariupol. I do not want the US and NATO to go to war with Russia, but something must be done about the … Continue reading →
